Not the s8 version that COMES with the >shredder classic gui that you can purchase online? There is no "Shredder 8" that comes with the Classic interface. The engine that is delivered from the Web site is called "Shredder Classic" and is for sure weaker than S8 Chessbase native or S8-UCI! The best combination for sure is: Shredder 8 UCI from the Chessbase CD + the "Classic GUI" from www.shredderchess.com + the big book that can be downloaded for the Classic GUI at www.shredderchess.com as well. To clarify it again: Shredder 8 can only be purchased from Chessbase! Bye Ingo
